February 2015 - Officer Willie Wright, Jr.

One afternoon, while on duty, Officer Wright observed a group of young children playing outside. Officer Wright stopped and spent time with this group of young citizens, answering their questions and even playing football with them.

A police officer's job of law enforcement and crime prevention includes
serving as a role model and protector for the children in our community.
It is important for children to learn about police officers and to
perceive police officers as friends and trusted adults.

Officer
Wright took the time to explain the details of a police officer's job
in an effort to help them understand how officers will protect and take
care of their community and it's citizens. He went beyond that which
would normally be expected and, in doing so, he distinguished himself
and brought credit to the Big Spring Police Department. His actions had a
tremendous effect on those young citizens, and on our community.
